If there’s one thing that is dear to our hearts, it’s French cuisine. We were actually sitting at a French café, enjoying some wonderful pastries when the idea of Golden Moon Tea was formed. That is why our French Breakfast tea is so smooth. This is the time you don’t want a lot of tannins. Think of the perfect tea to drink while eating sliced brioche with a pat of butter, a freshly toasted baguette with peach jam, and a croissant (or pain au chocolat for those of us who love to use fancy sounding words). Smooth tea and fresh baked goods. Yum.

Ingredients

Pure Ceylon Black Tea

Some teas are just so good there is no reason to blend them. This is why we chose the Kenilworth Tea Garden for our French Breakfast. The Kenilworth Tea Garden is one of the most well-known and prestigious tea gardens in Sri Lanka. It is located in the Nuwara Eliya District and nestled between the great Kelani and Mahaweli Rivers and has the benefit of two monsoon seasons per year. This is what gives the long, elegant tea leaves classic and pure taste in the Ceylon style.

Tasting Note⊕

Our French Breakfast is an estate tea from the high mountain region of Ceylon. It has beautiful, long, wide leaves that make a smooth tasting cup. Perfect for breakfast or with a sweet afternoon pastry due to its subtle, honey-like finish.

Customer Reviews

After Sinharaja, I love the flavor of French Breakfast tea, especially with whole milk. I think this French tea tastes smoother than Irish and English breakfast.

My favorite black tea from Golden Moon

We love the French Breakfast tea. The English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast and Sinharaja teas are also wonderful, but for us, the French Breakfast makes the perfect strong, malty cup of tea to drink with milk or cream. It is really delicious!

This is my moring must have!

I really like this tea. It's strong enough to give me a good start to the day, but not overwhelming. I drink two cups every morning before I get and about.

Will purchase again.

It is very satisfying to buy a quality product that has been produced organically. This tea tastes great, we make iced tea in the summer and hot tea during cool weather. A very good all purpose tea.

Yum!

Tasty tea with highlights of fruit along with the benefits of caffeine, what's not to like? French Breakfast is not only good in the morning, it's a great pick-me-up in the afternoon.

Lovely Tea

Wonderfully smooth tea. Both my wife and I enjoy its silkiness and the fact that even after several cups, there is no astringency on the tongue.

One of the better black teas.

I have used this product before and enjoyed it very much. I like a variety and this in addition to my Yunnan is nice to have as a choice.

Took experimenting to get the right body

It took a number of days before I got the right quantity of leaves to use, and the length of steeping to get the flavor I enjoy. It is my morning starter and something I look forward to after I gave up coffee.

Wonderful cup of tea.

I brew a cup or a pot in the morning for breakfast, or a cup in the afternoon or evening.

What a gem! Flavorful and smooth

I used to use stevia in my tea but after doing a Whole30 three months ago, I've discontinued all sweeteners. It took a while for my palate to get accustomed to drinking tea and coffee unsweetened. With tea, I used green tea during the transition.

I still like green tea but I'm back to enjoying black tea again. Pulled a packet of this French Breakfast tea from the back of my shelf after lunch and

Smooth and Lovely

This French Breakfast is a graceful black tea. It's best feature is its smoothness and complete lack of bitterness when brewed for 4 minutes at the point when the pot begins to simmer, just under boiling. I love this as an after lunch perk up.

My Favorite 'everyday' tea

This is my favorite tea to drink during the week. I make a pot in my press just about every morning. I like it with soy and sweetener. It smells wonderful and tastes great.
